If you do, go to a game in February…in Calgary… make sure you're in your seats during the second period… have Kelly Buchberger in the Oilers' lineup… put Ian Laperriere on the other team… and have it be the 1987-1988 season.

If you could attend such a game, you'd have some pretty awesome Edmonton Oilers tickets.

Since entering the National Hockey League, 217 different Oilers have fought 1,982 times.

Of those nearly 2,000 fights, 957 occurred at home and 1,025 occurred on the road.

That's not the only nugget of puck pugilism we want to share.

Below, we look at the Edmonton Oilers and their rich history of dropping the gloves.

Thanks to our friends at hockeyfights.com, we've compiled lists highlighting the history of the Oilers and their hockey fights.

Oilers Fights Per Regular Season

With the NHL's recent rule changes, it's no surprise that the 1980s and 1990s dominate the list of seasons with the most Oilers fights. Only one campaign from the 21st century makes the rundown.

Fighting and the Stanley Cup

The NHL officially recognizes the Edmonton Oilers of 1983 through 1990 as a dynasty. During that era, the franchise won five Stanley Cups. Besides winning sports' toughest trophy, the Oilers also posted a franchise-best 94 fights.

The Oilers reached the Stanley Cup Finals at the end of the 1982-1983 and 2005-2006 seasons. They didn't skate away with the cup, but they did post 61 and 28 fights, respectively, during those regular seasons.

Months with the Most Oilers Fights

The 1980s are responsible for six months with the most Edmonton Oilers fights. The 1990s were responsible for five, and the 21st century has two entries including one of four months where the Oilers tussled twenty or more times.

Oilers with the Most Fights, All-Time

Kelly Buchberger played for the Edmonton Oilers from 1987 to 1999. He, and another member of the top ten, Marty McSorley, were the last players remaining from the Oilers five Stanley Cup Championship teams.

Speaking of champions, Mark Messier's 39 fights makes him the first Oiler cut from the following list. If the following list included all 217 Oilers who threw fists, near the bottom, you'd find Wayne Gretzky. While an Oiler, “The Great One” fought twice.

Most Oilers Fights in a Single Regular Season

During the 2007-2008 campaign, Zack Stortini appeared in 66 games, spent 201 minutes in the sin bin, and fought 23 times. The following season, he appeared in fewer games (52), and spent less time in the penalty box (181 PIM), but mixed it up two more times.

In 1985-1986, McSorley fought 25 times in 59 games. He spent 265 minutes off the ice thinking about the penalties he committed and finished the regular season with two more fights than points.

About 300 kilometers separate Edmonton and Calgary. This proximity breeds contempt. Since 1979, the two franchises have duked it out more than 250 times. One-hundred and thirty of those fracases happened in Calgary.

Most of the Oilers' melees with the Arizona Coyotes came when the franchise was in Winnipeg. The franchise that's currently in Winnipeg used to be in Atlanta and nicknamed the “Thrashers.” Edmonton has clashed with that franchise just four times.
